It represents the most serious interference that state power may exercise in the sphere of an individual's freedom without a criminal conviction. A strong justification is needed to warrant it. It consists of the total deprivation of the accused's fundamental right to freedom of movement through their confinement in a prison facility for the conduct of criminal proceedings. It is implemented when it is the only way to ensure the normal course of criminal procedure.

The Presidential System

While both systems may appear different, one featuring a monarch with secretaries and the other a parliament making crucial legal rules, the political formula known as "presidential leadership" relies on the president's moral and political influence to implement decisions within the state structure.
